Immigration

President Obama not only caused the current border crisis—since the year before his announced unwillingness to deport minors as required by law, the rate of minors illegally emigrating from Central America has risen about 20-fold (from about 300 to 6,000 per month)—but he also ignored warnings it was coming.

The crisis—or invasion—taking place on our border is a direct result of President Obama’s lawless decree that he won’t deport young illegals and his wider refusal to provide interior enforcement of immigration laws.

Both parties in Congress are duty-bound to vigorously oppose any attempt by the president of the United States to defy the separation of powers and impose his own preferred immigration policy at the expense of the rule of law, a free people, and their Constitution.

Passing Obama-style immigration “reform” would provide a political boon for liberals, weaken our national sovereignty, and lower our per-capita GNP—even if President Obama could be trusted to enforce it.

Most Americans, and rank-and-file Republicans, aren’t particularly interested in immigration “reform” that President Obama would selectively execute—but Obama and House Republican leaders apparently are.
